Kanishka Cheng

Kanishka believes in cities and that San Francisco can be a world class city. With her experience in San Francisco government and politics, she co-founded TogetherSF and TogetherSF Action to help San Franciscans connect with their city and hold their leaders accountable to outcomes. TogetherSF started in March of 2020 as a covid pandemic response organization connecting volunteers with nonprofits to pack groceries and deliver food to homebound seniors. Since then TogetherSF has grown to provide volunteer opportunities through neighborhood trash pickups, graffiti removal and mural painting to build community, and launched TogetherSF Action to empower and inform residents to solve San Francisco’s most pressing problems. Kanishka is passionate about inspiring civic leadership and equipping residents with the knowledge needed to make San Francisco a city that works for all of us.
